Las Cruces firefighters responded to the 1300 block of Eugene Drive about 5:20 a.m. The home was engulfed in flames, according to LCFD spokesman Dan Trujillo.

"When firefighters arrived on the scene, they found the fire in the back. The fire originated in the back of the structure," Trujillo said. "Smoke was present when firefighters arrived and flames extended into the attic."
